House Notes – Hazelbrook Hempcrete Home
This house is made from hempcrete (or hemp lime composite) with passive solar design in a predominantly cool climate with occasional hot weather too. The floor plan is divided into three distinct zones, providing good thermal and acoustic control. The house is self sufficient for energy and water, and features zero toxicity materials throughout.
And possibly the most amazing kitchen you will see in a house like this!
Hempcrete has been left exposed on some ways because it was built so well, and is so beautiful in colour and texture.
